GObject is just the name given to a set of C utility functions for |
12 |
strings, arrays, etc, the mainloop, and other things provided by glib, |

which is used by all of GNOME. Take a look at the following: |

You should also be able to find tutorials on the web for the same. |

For the plugin, NM already has plugins for redhat and ubuntu which do |

similar things, so you can just take a look at those for information. |
